It might actually be worse, because I edited things after the cut-off date. Only 2,477 of them are now defunct.

I suspect the bigger issue will be with AI use that's off the books. It must be tempting to use your own account if you knew you'd get a better response that way. The way copilot is built into windows makes that easy enough to do by mistake anyway. There's a real gap for a proper privacy aware tool.

Of course it's still linked to my account, but the price of 10m free tokens a day is letting them train on what is sent. I get to approve the masked version before it goes, and it adds about 10 seconds on. Don't know if there is a commercial tool - big corporate seems to just trust copilot/azure.

I built an anonymisation layer to sit between me & the api. I wouldn't trust it with anything really sensitive, but getting an llm running locally to detect things to mask & paraphrase was pretty easy. It stores the keys, so unmasks on the return. Big corporate seems to just trust co-pilot/Azure.

I think it may be possible to do more. Once the new electric hydrofoils reach the Solent, that's certainly going to be true.

How many this ends up being depends entirely on how pedantic you want to be, but I'm aiming for 10-13.
